Infestation 88 developer, Nightmare Forge Games, have responded to claims that the '88' in the game's title refers to the Neo-Nazi salute.

Not the point. “Infestation” + 88 + gassing vermin is absolutely not comparable to the mental gymnastics you just vomited out as an example.

You didn't read the Twitter thread that I've linked, right? Do it. It's actually way worse mental gymnastics than my shitty example. ("1-4 players = Nazi dogwhistle" tier.)

Even if the developer was truly this oblivious, it would still not change the issue of it, and the Nazis that posted on their Discord for so long were clearly proof of that as well.

Give this a check. The developers are changing the name of the game, and addressing the Discord server by pausing discussions there until they get better moderation.


EDIT: by the way you're already doing less worse than he did. At least you're trying to connect discursive elements, like "gassing vermin", instead of doing conspiracy shit tier things like "they're active from 2010 to 2024! That must be a sign of ~~an enemy Stand~~ 14 words!". And the fact that you called me a "tankie" shows that you at least checked my profile to see if I was potentially a Nazi, seriously, props for that.
